This Puritan and Calvininst treatise was translated in 1665 by the theologian Johann Fischer (1636-1705), who was active in many Baltic coastal towns and translated the Bible into Estonian and Latvian. He rose to fame and suspicion among the orthodox Lutheran theologians when he published this seminal text of Puritanism, Baxter's Calvinist and Puritan Treatise of Self-Denyall (1659). Max Weber (1864–1920), the German sociologist, made significant use of Baxter's works in developing his thesis for "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism"
